Green Holidays in Finland

A vast, verdant, peaceful land of quiet lakes and dense, scented forests, midnight sun and inches of virgin snow, Finland is an idyllic destination that offers a real sense of escape in its natural places.

It is also, however, a dynamic modern nation with a rich culture (and history), nowhere on such evident display as in the elegant capital, Helsinki, where you'll find the stunning Senate Square and the imposing Russian Orthodox cathedral.

Winter in Finnish Lapland brings with it polar nights and the elusive Aurora Borealis. The village of Inari perched on the edge of the Lake Inari is the setting for an active winter experience for all the family deep in Finnish Lapland.
